The flight simulator center AVES (Air Vehicle Simulator) has two high-fidelity simulators, one aircraft and one helicopter, for cutting edge flight research. AVES is designed as a modular, flexible platform using the latest technologies for a comprehensive exploration of flight. This modern test facility closes the gap between numeric simulations and experimental flight operations at Braunschweig’s Research Airport. AVES is operated by DLR’s Institute of Flight Systems; its development has been carried out in cooperation with the Technical University of Braunschweig in order to serve as a link between the applied research within DLR and the (basic) research and education at the University.
